Green & Co. S report on cotton futures SAYS:
'On the cotton contract market the bull ele-
ment has continued to contest the position and
PROBABLY prevented a more decided break, as
the general tendency has been toward an easier
tone on all months beyond October. This month
holds strong on continued Scant offering and
fears of squeeze, but later options were offered
more freely, and after Il slight showing of firm
ness at the outset, made a decline. 1t looks as
though with the short interest pretty well
cleared up and no fresh orders coming in
coupled with the disappointing character of
Liverpool accounts, portion of the longs has
become little tired, and sold out to those who
were willing to assume the load At the close
October was to 3 points higher, and later
months 3 to 5 points lower, against Saturday
evening, with the feeling unsettled"

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE grain market opened
this morning practically unchanged Wheat
started steady but soon weakened on the suppo-
stion that the visible supply statement would
snow a larger increase than it did, and prices
tell Off SIC. The pit, however felt bullish. and
although the market became heavy, the number
of sellers was not numerous. Receipts Of wheat
in the Northwest were very large, and there was
also some increase at Chicago, but at other
points receipts were not large. Aggregate ar
rivals at twelve points were 4l2,OO0 bushels and
shipments O1UUUJ. Nnen Ine visible supply
figures in wheat were made public at noon they
showed about half the increase expected. The
increase was given at 343,613 bushels. These
figures had no perceptible effect, except that
many who were waiting for them all the morn
ing afterward went into the pit and made some
show of trading. Cables showed only moder-
ate foreign demand. Corn was moderately ac-
tive with the feeling weaker. The opening was
about the same Us Saturdays closing prices.
The market was steady for q time, then ruled
weaker declining 15c for near futures and Lc
for May changed some and closed lSGl5kc lower
than Saturdays closing. Large receipts and
the increase in the visible supply Of 761, 900
bu hels tended to create an easier feeling and
offerings at times were quite free The stock
here increased Sf,770 bushels making the guam
tity now in store 239 2l6 bushels Oats were
weaker and there was decline in prices Arr
walls were quite heavy, and there was also a lib
eral increase in the visible supply More dispo
sition to realize shown in the speculative
market and sample offerings were in excess of
the local and shipping demand. Provisions were
traded in only moderately and the feeling was
easier Receipts of hogs were moderately free
with prices favOring buyers, and there was little
more inclination to sell the product for future
delivery the deman6, however, was moderate
and the record of transactions showed further
sligl reduction in prices. Larger deliveries at
tracted more attention. Inquiry on shipping
was reported Receipts of products were light
and shipments of all kinds moderately free
Lard ruled weak and 2L90b5c lower. Short ribs
quiet 2l6Gf5c lower. Mess pork ruled 561716c
lower and closed quiet.
